For hockey enthusiasts at Flint Hill School, the end of the NHL lockout hasn't been the only piece of good news this month. Last Thursday, the Oakton private school announced the addition of ice hockey as a varsity program for the 2013-14 academic year, setting the stage for continued improvement to the school's most popular club team.
Flint Hill's hockey team was formed prior to the 2008-09 season by a small group of students and parents involved in outside leagues. Since then the team has gained strength every year, currently comprising 18 students –– including two girls –– who range from seasoned travel players to novices with limited recreational experience.
The school's enthusiasm for the team extends beyond the kids in uniforms, as large student crowds are a regular sight on game nights. Such a high level of interest made Headmaster John Thomas's decision an easy one to make after second-year head coach Pat Morgan requested the move last month.
"It's an excellent move in the right direction," said Greg Lobel, a senior captain who's been on the team since its inception. "Four years ago when I was a freshman, we started the team with a couple of parents and some kids that played travel hockey. We didn't do too well, but the popularity was there. Being a varsity sport will allow people that want to play hockey but don't have the money to play, and it allows us to get a lot better competition."
Varsity status will erase the financial costs saddled on players' families in the form of ice time, equipment and league fees. Moreover, it will grant more ice time to a team that currently practices just once per week during a season
that lasts from November through February. It will also give the program a chance to play at the varsity level of the competitive Northern Virginia Scholastic Hockey League (NVSHL) in future years, although Morgan has opted to keep his team at the junior varsity level for the time being.
"In our league it has to do with skill level of your team," said Morgan, who has served as Flint Hill's head of the P.E. department for the past 11 years. "This will help us build on that to hopefully get us within a year or two or three or however long to get us up to that varsity level. The varsity teams around here are pretty good, and we're only in our fifth year right now."
The NVSHL's junior varsity league consists of 17 public schools and three private schools, the other two being Potomac School and Bishop O'Connell. A few of the participating schools combine to fill an adequate number of roster slots, rounding the league out to a total of 13 teams. Coming off a 6-4 upset win against previously undefeated Lake Braddock last Friday, followed by a 5-2 victory over Loudoun Valley/Woodgrove on Sunday, Flint Hill currently sits at 4-2 on the season.
Though they are content to remain in the junior varsity league for now, Flint Hill players and coaches hope to see a continuing influx of talent that will carry the program to the next level in future years. The NVSHL's varsity league totals 24 teams that draw mainly from Fairfax and Prince William counties. (The league's only private schools are O'Connell, Bishop Ireton and Paul VI).
In addition to playing against tougher competition, moving up would pit Flint Hill in a league that provides a playoff format at season's end, something the junior varsity league doesn't offer.
Bumping Flint Hill up to varsity would be another welcome sign for a league that has seen rapid growth since its inception 11 years ago. According to NVSHL Executive Director Greg Bullen, the varsity and junior varsity divisions have added 14 teams since that time, and a 14-team middle school division is being added for the first time this year. Those schools primarily draw from Prince William, Loudoun and Arlington.
"I think it's growing around here. A lot of the high schools have teams, and the quality of the play is improving all the time," said Morgan, whose team plays home games at SkateQuest in Reston. "There are a lot of really good players around here. The quality of play and popularity of hockey is definitely on the rise. We have middle schoolers and high schoolers here that are playing on club teams in Ashburn and Reston."
Regardless of what level they reach, Flint Hill players are just happy to see their program get the recognition it deserves.
"I'm thrilled it's becoming a varsity sport," sophomore goalie Jack Jenet said. "It gives everyone who can't afford it a chance to come out and play, and it's just going to make our name, Flint Hill, that much better."

Because there was a thread about Bagon and Gible.
This is about Dratini and Deino, not their evolved forms.
So we have a serpentine pseudo-dragon, and a blind infant hydra.
Blah blah your favorite design which would win most useful best typing best one to have in a progressive rock band.
You know how these threads go already, just say what you like the best about each.
I am surprisingly torn up on this. On one hand, Dratini has always been one of my favorite pokémon, ever. It is my favorite form of its own line, and its mystical apearance is really the sort of thing that appeals to me. If I had made this poll earlier it would've been an easy choice.
But Deino... It's design is fantastic. How the hair covers its face like that is awesome, and it's pretty unusual to see a pokémon with no (or undeveloped) eyes. And its line's theme is great.
It also looked to me somewhat flower-like when I first saw it. It disappointed me that it wasn't the Dragon/Grass I was hoping for, but it's okay because of the Yamata no Orochi's and hydra concept and Dragon/Dark is fine.
Though I wonder what'd have it been like with the cyber-tank design...
In-battle... Dratini is very versatile offensively and always a threat in LC. Deino does have some good things, like a marginally better bulk and pretty good coverage... But even with that I'm going to say Dratini is still the better one here.
Of course, this is LC. Most people don't care about it.
But yeah, as cool and awesome as I think Deino is I'm going with Dratini.

Well, in the manga I have seen...
Inuyasha saw Kagome bathing so she says 'sit'.
What's the funniest moments you've seen so far?
Hmm...mine include..
-Everytime Kagome says "Sit!"
-Everytime Miroku tries to do something perverted towards Sango and she hits him.
-Inuyasha getting all excited over chips potato....
-Inuyasha getting stuck to a boulder(that episode is funny)
-Inuyasha not noticing Sango and Miroku like each other.(Even Shippo knows that)
Well, in the manga I have seen...
Inuyasha saw Kagome bathing so she says 'sit'.
I thought it was funny on the episode when the fat man that had a jewel shard in his belly button was gonna eat Kagome and puts her in a gigantic sauna looking thing to cook her and Inuyasha busts in to save the day! And Kagome's standing there completely naked! The look on Inuyasha's face was priceless
I think it was funny when sango and kagome heard someone behind the bushes while they were in the bath house and sango threw her boomerang and it hit a squrriel instead of inuyasha and miroku

anytime miroku was being perverted and then gets slapped by sango
No copycat threads.

I made this recipe this evening with a couple of changes and loved it. One cup of quinoa cooked in two cups of chicken broth (about 14 mins) let stand for 15 minutes. I omitted the pine nuts. Will make again, good accompaniment to fish
TexasTraveler 19 Jul, 2009
Follow the proportions in the recipe from Martha, unless you want it to be the consistency of mush!
Since1982 14 Jan, 2009
Because of the controversy over the amount of water necessary for the recipe, I cooked the quinoa according to the instructions found at epicurious.com in their lemon quinoa recipe. This method produced a VERY fluffy result which was delightful. Beyond the cooking method for the quinoa, I followed the MSL recipe exactly and it was utterly delicious! What a great combination of flavors. I will be making this again and again.

Wrong proportions for the quinoa.
stylegirl 30 Jul, 2008
My guess is the recipe is referring to 2 cups cooked quinoa - that would be 1 c dry to 2-21/4 c water when cooking. 4 c cooked quinoa seems like way too much for the other ingredients in the recipe.
cook2go 10 Jun, 2008
I just made this - but I increased the water to 4 cups, as 2 1/4 cups didn't seem like enough. I looked at several other recipes for quinoa, and they all had a two to one ratio of water to quinoa. Even the directions on my package said one cup quinoa to 2 cups water. Anyone have a problem with just the 2 /14 cups of water? Its delicious, by the way! taking it to a potluck dinner tonight.
CarolWY 8 Mar, 2008
This is a lovely, flavorful side dish with just a bit of a crunch. It went great with the Roast Maple-Glazed Salmon at epicurious.com. Topped off with some sautn n n n ed asparagus, it made a delicious, eye-pleasing meal.

This was so easy and delicious. I served it as a room temperature salad similar to couscous and everyone loved it. It's a wonderful simple supper or dish for sharing/entertaining.

I want to know if the projected FG of this recipe is reasonable. The expected FG is 1.020 OG = 1.080 I would really like a slightly drier finish. How can I lower the FG more than it is at 1.020? Thanks, 4oz dextrose .5lbs crystal 20 steeped 20 mins 1lb wheat malt steeped 20 mins both at 155 degrees 6lbs Pilsen DME 1lb clear candi sugar 1 oz goldings 60 mins .5 oz fuggle 10mins .5 oz fuggle 1min 1 oz saaz at flameout Yeast was WLP 568 from White Labs with no starter. I fermented the first day at 72, 2nd day at 75 and 3rd day at 78.
You could pitch a more alcohol-tolerant yeast and see if it will knock it down. In the extreme, you could pitch champagne yeast, but that would take it waaay down. Sorry - just checked out your yeast. You can let it sit for a month. I just used thw wyeast bel saison strain and it dropped to 1.025 after two weeks. I left it at 76 deg for a month, checking each week. All the sudden, it had dropped to 1.006. I'm waiting on bottles (I bottled 2 weeks ago), but I'm drinking out of the keg (same batch - split 50/50 bottles/keg) tonight and it's delicious. Also, for future batches, go AG - lowering your mash temps provides the most fermentable wort you can get. If you go extract again, look for high fermentability extracts, use enzyme additives, or use more sugar in your recipe (up to 20%). *edit* btw - for a saison... NO, that is not a reasonable FG
Yeah, I don't really know that it is a saison. But the sample I just took sure is good. Maybe more of a Belgian strong ale of some sort. Joe
Check the yeasts specs and find the attenuation percentages to project FG.
I agree that waiting a month is the ticket. With a pound of candy, it should go lower.
You didnt pitch enough yeast, I bet it got stressed out and your beer is done. One option is to make a gallon of beer (use a pound of DME) and a packet of US-05. When that gets to high krausen pitch the whole thing in your beer that is stalled at 1.020, that MIGHT get it to dry out. FYI Champagne yeast isnt magical pixy dust
Predicted FG of this beer from one of the calculator websites shows 1.020. I was hoping it would go lower. Joe
Ignore predictions from calculators. They are often wrong, especially when it comes to odd yeasts like Saison strains. Increase the temps as fermentation goes on, and that will help attenuation. I second letting this yeast work for a good month, minimum.

Too funny. I wish my aunt were alive to share it with her. She loved cats. Carla |
Tears from laughing. All three cats are adept at the stomping around and kneading things. Baxter is the cheek patter. His finaly act of desperation is to start pawing the covers off you. He's not very gentle either. That always gets me up. |

So funny and true! That is totally our cat and my husband. He likes to scratch the side of the mattress and now they show little holes and tears where he has been trying to wake the poor man up. Also has this habit of using one's forehead as a springboard to jump on the headboard. Of course the cat knows better than to pull that on me. LOL |

That is so our cat lol! She will do exactly the same thing!(well not the bat part though lol) Especially on weekends because during the weeks she is used to getting up at 5:30 am with my husband who feeds her at that time. Thanks for the clip it was cute! Tammy |

I'm so glad you all enjoy that. My cats are so like this too. Jody, I have a cheek patter also and sometimes she pokes me in the eye, its maddening! But what really drives me crazy is when I do get up to feed them, they walk up to it, sniff it and they start scratching the floor around the food as if they were burying it for later and then walk away.........UGH! They are so spoiled and they know it.....but I love them and they know that too. sigh |
He-he-he-he...ha-Ha-HA-HA-HA-HA...!!! That is so true! Minus of course the baseball bat part. Speaking of balls this reel reminded me of our last cat Gypsy. She was an adorable seal point himmy that was a perfect pet in practically every way but one: she had this annoying habit of waking Rob up in the morning by jumping high in the air then landing square on his ... ahem ... well you know. Guess she knew it was a guaranteed way to wake him up. She never tried this with me because she knew it would earn her a one way flight through a glass window. I'm not nearly as sweet in disposition as my partner Rob. :) Patrick |

Author shares his South Texas stories
Oscar Casares of Brownsville spoke at Del Mar
As a child growing up in Brownsville, author Oscar Casares' family was
his inspiration for telling the stories of his city and his
Friday, Casares shared some of his stories from his first book "Brownsville: Stories" with more than 100 people at Del Mar College.
Set in the backdrop of South Texas and laden with familiar characters, language and South Texas hallmarks, like Whataburger and H-E-B, Casares' stories offer an authentic slice of culture, said student Zaira Delgado.
"I couldn't put it down," Delgado said. "I could identify with a lot of it because I'm from El Paso and it' s a lot like Brownsville."
Del Mar College student Priscilla Rangel is from Corpus Christi, but she, too, was familiar with the themes and characters in the book.
"I could relate to it because it's about the Mexican-American community," she said.
Casares said he learned the art of storytelling from listening to his two uncles share their tales with family, he said.
"I have to reflect what I saw growing up, both the good and the bad," Casares said.
Casares, who teaches creative writing courses at the University of Texas and also writes for Texas Monthly, is working on his next project, a novel chronicling his family's journey from Mexico to South Texas in the 1850s.
Casares said that while he appreciates the recent discussions about immigration reform, he believes the dialogue should be expanded to include benefits and basic rights for workers in this country.
Immigrants have long been kept on the margins of society, he said.
"That's an injustice," he said.

Napa Cellars Zinfandel 2011
Winemaker's Notes:
Bright aromas of red berry, cardamom, toasted pie crust and white peppercorn. The aromas lead to rich flavors of warm boysenberry, plum and currant with notes of cranberry on the finish. The Napa Cellars 2011 Zinfandel is medium-bodied with bright acidity and a smooth, juicy mouthfeel that lasts from start to finish.

Editorial Reviews for Napa Cellars Zinfandel
Sweet and dusty on the nose, this shows aromas of tight red fruits flecked with mineral and allspice notes. On entry the texture is quite silky with black cherry fruit that is threaded with a contrasting medicinal edge. There is lovely purity and aromatic fruit, violet and sweet spice notes that are wrapped up in a restrained, slightly chewy package. The finish is long and pure, exhibiting excellent tension and focus in the mouth and right through the end. A bit reticent today but really very fine. 94pts
As usual Coudoulet punches well above it's price class! This is so well framed with the assertive structure of 2005 wrapped in a deep flannelly blanket of spicy plum fruits. There are nice mineral, floral and earthen notes here but this is really about wonderfully pure, deep fruit. I love Coudoulet with some age on, I just, regrettably, finished my stash of 1998s which were absolutely singing. In a world where $50 Cheateauneuf have become the norm this remain a serious bargain. 91pts
Nose is very aromatic, leather, meat, black fruit, slightly candied with lovely smoke and herb nuances but in time this turns into an awesome poop-s-thon. Turn back the clock to beaucastel of days gone by all backed up with super clean fresh black fruit Big and slightly thick in the mouth, there is an early minty edge here followed by a palate full of tight but rich, muscular, meaty dark fruit filled with carob, earth and almost fudgy candied flavors. Finishing dry and dark with deep earthy notes hints of heat, pepperiness and some old woodiness this is still a bit tannic and firm in the mouth but at the same time it shows great precision and balance. A fabulous beaucastel. 94pts
Jammy black currant and blueberry fruit greet the nose showing off a bit of a pruny edge with very black peppery top notes and a slightly dusty character. In the mouth this has surprisingly intact acid, offering decent brightness and height in the mouth with lovely blackberry fruit but here is a fair amount of alcohol showing here, and while the fruit does show nice purity the wine is not particularly well balanced. 84pts
Another nose that remains somewhat tight with medicinal cherry, leather, and garrigue aromas framed with a little spice, and a little floral nuance. With a lovely combination of liquory, plump, rich fruit, and a bit a bit of bitterness this fills the mouth that drops off quickly on the backend this is a bit short, but the black berry fruit and plum fruit is just so pretty you can help but seeing this as a fun wine. 89pts
Tight and focused on the nose with beautiful, spicy, leathery, clean aromas that are still youthful with hints of chalk, spice, and dark fruit On entry this is almost voluptuous with really vibrant acids with decisive cut and round, ample tannins that segue into spicy dark cherry fruit that shows a slightly dried edge. Ultimately this is a little touch but it does exhibit lovely focused, dark fruit and good length, with very chocolatey tannins offering a subtle density here. 93pts
Tight and clean, smoky, mineral, floral, oleander, balanced, reticent, finesse, elegant tannins, lithe mouth feel, hinting at black cherry. This requires air. A hint of chocolate, lovely length. Smith Brothers black cherry cough drops. This lacks the explosiveness of previous bottles, perhaps it's closed or the wine is past peak. Having had so many great experiences with this wine over the past few years, this is a let down. 90pts
Member Reviews for Napa Cellars Zinfandel
Add your reviewThe nose is a pleasant blend of red fruit, strawberries, plum, green grass and tar. The taste is very jammy up front, with rich fruit, plum, blackberry and strawberry that transitioned to some dusty limestone and smoke midpalate. The finish was smooth and very dry, with a smoky accent that lingered for a good while. See the full review on my blog here: http://allaloneonaplanetfullofpeople.blogspot.com/2013/12/2012-prisoner.html
I had an older vintage ... I believe a bit over priced for the lack of depth, but overall a nice balanced wine
A nice wine from Orin Swift. This is a blend of Zinfandel and a handful of other grapes. Had very nice undertones of earth and stone with some big fruit and a touch of residual sugar. Definitely a bold wine, and though we drank it without food, I suspect this would hold up well almost any type of beef. Again, not great but definitely not bad.
Ripe, wild, lush berries that linger & mix with oak & black tea accents. Bright acidity. Since this is a mix, there is more acidity than a normal zin, so don't be shy to pair with heavier meals. If anything one might err on going with light pairings, and get put off by acid.
You are amazing Mr. Prisoner. You are that boyfriend or girlfriend all single people seek to meet. You are deep, complex, and spicy hot. After one date with you, most wine, especially in your price range, just pale in comparison. Blackberry, spice and without fault you are guaranteed to be love at first sight for anyone lucky enough to spend around $30 odd dollars to take you home.
External Reviews for Napa Cellars Zinfandel
Napa Valley, CaliforniaThe new 2013 vintage has arrived and it's very limited, as always. Parker 92!The Prisoner is a must-try red wine gem for anyone who loves Zinfandel! The label was recently sold by gifted winemaker Dave Phinney of Orin Swift Cellars to its new owner, The Prisoner Wine Company. Considering that Wine Spectator has selected The Prisoner to join the ranks of the magazine's Top 100 Wines of the Year not just in one recent year (#47 in 2009 for the 2007 vintage) but 3 times in the past 6 years, it is nearly inconceivable that Dave Phinney began his winemaking career with 2 tons of purchased Zinfandel grapes just a year out of college in 1998! Now he has passed the baton to winemaker Jen Beloz, former winemaker at Ravenswood, to carry on the legacy of The Prisoner. Robert Parker just rated the 2013 vintage 92 points, so don't delay!The Prisoner is 44% Zinfandel blended with 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Petite Sirah, plus Syrah, Grenache and Charbono. The wine has a deep ruby red hue that is framed in rich crimson. Aromas of black cherry and plum, surrounded by roasted coffee beans and vanillin oak accents. The entry is powerful and lush with ?avors of bing cherry, blueberry and cocoa. Soft and velvety tannins round out the ?nish making this wine approachable and inviting. It was aged in both new and seasoned French and American oak. The wine is soft and round with weight, length and structure and good acidity to soften its big fruit. On the finish it is long and lingering with soft, velvety tannins.Enjoy The Prisoner with roast pork, grilled chicken, BBQ ribs, grilled vegetables and cheeses.
The Wine: Aromas of briar fruits and dried cherry are accented by hints of vanilla and toasted oak. On the palate, tiers of blueberry, ripe mulberry and boysenberry give way to an edge of espresso, cracked pepper and a seasoning of fall spice. These dense aromas and flavors culminate in a lingering finish framed by refined tannins. - Winery The Blend: 44% Zinfandel 20% Cabernet Sauvignon 18% Petite Sirah 16% Syrah 2% Charbono The Vineyards: Rodgers, Somerston, Mabel Tiedemann, Solari, Korte, Page Nord, York Creek, Tofanelli, Luchtel, Rancho Chimiles, Black Sears, Hudson Aging: 30% New Oak, Combination of French and American Oak Barrels
Ripe jammy sweet and loaded with toasty oak. Subtle this is not loaded with flavor offering notes of black cherry chocolate licorice and cinnamon spice. Should appeal to fans of the style. Zinfandel Cabernet Sauvignon Petite Sirah Syrah and Charbono. Drink now through 2018.
Inky ruby. Heady cherry and blackcurrant scents are complicated by smoky herbs pipe tobacco potpourri and dusty minerals. Broad and pliant offering palate-staining dark berry preserve flavors given lift and bite by a spicecake quality. Sweet and velvety on the relentless finish which leaves candied cherry and mineral notes behind. Stephen Tanzers IWC.
More rich and layered with thrilling aromas and flavors of blueberry blackberry licorice crushed stone lavender and underbrush the 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin will most likely be the wine of the vintage. Compared to the 1989 by Marc Perrin it is full-bodied and massively constructed with a deep layered mid-palate stunning purity and massive structure that
There are 20 000 cases of the 2012 The Prisoner which is an interesting blend of 46% Zinfandel 22% Cabernet Sauvignon 18% Petite Sirah 12% Syrah and a small amount of Charbono. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by a big peppery meaty Rhone-like bouquet with hints of bay leaf unsmoked cigar tobacco black currants and sweet jammy cherries. Medium to full-bodied and explosively fruity this is a lovely hedonistic seriously endowed red to drink over the next 3-4 years. - Robert Par

Hermosa Beach is a city in Los Angeles County, California, United States. The population was 18,566 at the 2000 census. 2006 population estimates are 19,435. The city is located in the South Bay region of the greater Los Angeles area and is one of the three Beach Cities. It is bordered by Manhattan Beach to the north, and Redondo Beach to its east and south. Of the three cities, only Hermosa Beach owns its own beach. The other two cities' beaches are owned by the county of Los Angeles. "Hermosa" ("beautiful" in Spanish) is an accurate description of this city's beach, which is also flat, sandy, and long; ideal for sunbathing, beach volleyball, surfing and paddleboarding. The city itself is only about 15 blocks from east to west and 40 blocks from north to south, with the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH to the locals) running down the middle. Situated on the Pacific Ocean, Hermosa's average temperature is 70 degrees in the summer and 55 degrees in the winter. Gentle westerly sea breezes ... Read more about Hermosa Beach on Wikipedia

"I tried this recipe using my Traeger wood pellet grill. I cooked the pork shoulder for 6 hours and the meat was absolutely wonderful. Generally, I like sour food, but for some reason this sauce doesn't agree with my taste buds. I've given this 4 stars because I've looked at other recipes for Carolina pulled pork, and the sauce recipes are all ba..."
"Very good! I omitted the sugar and didn't have a spice pack, so I used 3 bay leaves, 1/2 tsp. of black pepper and pinch of thyme. I stewed the cornbeef on low overnight, for about 12 hours and then added the cabbage and potatoes and cooked on high for another 4 hours. Very tasty, tender meat. A real keeper!"

"I was just about to post my recipe for filling when I found this one, which is identical. Yes, my Nana made this too and we are very Pennsylvania Dutch. This is delicious, especially with giblet gravy.On special occasions try adding 2 cups chopped fresh oysters.Definite comfort food for me!"
"I was very skepticle of mixing ketchup, mustard and soy with brown sugar and pineapple, but I am very glad I tried it.I used fresh pineapple and cut back half on the soy, ketchup and mustard.This made for the best ham I have ever tasted!!! I just couldn't believe it. Your recipe made our Easter one to remember. Thanks much!"
"This wasn't awful, but it was too sweet for my taste. I can't recommend it."
"Very good!!I used frozen corn and peas and 2 fresh carrots sliced thin, with only 1/2 clove of chopped garlic. I also topped the potatoes with grated chedder. I didn't use a gravy mix, but added flour to the meat/veggie blend and it made a nice gravy on its own."
"I followed the instructions to the letter, but this didn't taste like the bourbon chicken that I get at the mall. I use very little salt when I cook because it can always be added at the table. This was far too salty for my taste. Final opinion: edible, but the salt was overpowering."

We just had a look at some of the gameplay from Global Agenda at E3, but the latest trailer from Hi-Rez studios is a bit different. It's a more humorous look at the sort of characters that will be found in-game, or rather, the sorts that won't. Walking around in a flowing robe and attempting to fling fireballs won't get you very far in Global Agenda, as the trailer points out so clearly -- a Recon character makes short work of an elf trying to fill his cast-bar to attack, proving that technology is the key to victory in this particular world, and that other elves hoping to join the game's cast need not apply. Hit the jump to check out the full trailer.

"The braided nylon cord adds durability,...
"The braided nylon cord adds durability, and the included emergency bottle opener..."
Do these have either of those things?
Mr. 4.0
I just picked up a new pair of these yesterday at best buy, after snapping the con my old ones. They didn't come with a bottle opener and the cords don't look woven, unless it's under the rubber.

I didn't get a bottle opener either.
Same here. I have big rasta Ti headphones that came with a hidden bottle opener, but these do not.

For 25 years, the Bishops' Conference of Colombia has been encouraging Colombians to pray for peace, in their desire to see the country's decades-long civil conflict come to an end.
On Monday, Benedict XVI expressed his own hopes the new peace talks announced by the Colombian government and the rebel group FARC, to be held Oct. 5 in Oslo, would be successful.
"May those who take part in that initiative be guided by a commitment to forgiveness and reconciliation, in the sincere search for the common good," the Pope said.
In an interview with CNA, Archbishop Ricardo Tobon Restrepo of Medellin said the bishops praised the Colombian government for its willingness to begin a new dialogue with the FARC and pledged to do whatever they can to contribute to its success.
The bishops' pilgrimage to Assisi is a sign of their unity with the desire of the Colombian people and the efforts of the government to bring peace to the country, he said.
However, the entire nation of Colombia, "and not just the armed rebel groups, needs to learn how to live in peace."
"I think that every human person has a seed of goodness in his or her heart, and we must understand that violence is not humane, that everyone loses in war, that mutual confrontation brings nothing but disasters, and we must come to an agreement in order to live in peace," Archbishop Tobon said.
"We trust in God's help so that all of the different endeavors for peace will have a positive outcome."
Archbishop Jairo Jaramillo Monsalve of Barranquilla told CNA that the Colombian people "are flooded with violence and war and are tired of experiencing death and bloodshed."
He noted that the FARC and those of other rebel groups have also grown weary of war and violence, "and I hope that all of us in good faith will seek out the path to peace for our country."
Archbishop Jaramillo said the Colombian bishops look to St. Francis as an example of "a man of deep spirituality and captivating love of God, and especially a love for peace."
St. Francis "always prayed to the Lord saying, 'Lord make me an instrument of your peace,'" the archbishop continued.
"Let us pray that the Lord will make all of us, each and every Colombian...and instrument of his peace," he said.

"Kids with autism don't always readily engage with others, but if there's a pet in the home that the child is bonded with and a visitor starts asking about the pet, the child may be more likely to respond," said Gretchen Carlisle of the University of Missouri who worked on the study.

Hi, I bought a used Mastercraft chain saw (2.3 cu.in..... 38cc) model 54-5663-4 last year and decided to fire it up this spring. It didn't even fire. I changed the plug, and it saw that it was sparking, but no fuel to plug. The line to the carburetor was fine, no gas appeared to be going to it; so I decided to pull it see what's what. At this point I should tell you that I really don't know much about engines, but what I saw made me scratch my head. There was a plate over the bottom of the carburetor (Walbro) and the carburetor appeared to lead directly to the crank shaft. Am I missing something? Shouldn't the carburetor be open, and lead into the cyclinder? Thanks, ..... john |

The carburetor goes to the crankcase because it's a 2 cycle engine. I'd guess that the choke is on also. |
- Posted by shakushinnen (My Page) on Mon, May 5, 14 at 15:21
Thanks Jake, So, should there be plate over the bottom of the carburetor, between the carburetor and the crankcase? ...... john |
That plate is probably the reed valve---which acts like the intake valve---opens when the piston stroke is creating a vacuum. The reason the saw is not starting is most likely inside the carburetor---varnish from evaporated gas has plugged the feed ports. I repaired chain saw for professional tree crews for 20+ years---seldom was able to reliably rebuild a carb. Buy a new one, will be cheaper/better in the long run. |

Agree with handymac, When I would rebuild them the rubber diaphragm in them was regularly trashed from varnish, as were several other parts (float valve on lawn mower engines). Just a tip, before you store it for the winter, empty the gas out of it and then run it until it's out of fuel. It will prevent some of the varnish from building up. One of the best inventions for those small engines was the priming bulbs. BTW handymac, I was the Go To Guy for rebuilding Mopar thermo quad carburetors at one time... about as useful a skill as typewriter repair now. |

Hi Guys, Thanks for the help. I have no idea where I'm going to get a carburetor for this beast. It's a Canadian Tire product, not likely made by them, so I'm told. I live near Toronto. Any thoughts. Thanks again, ...... john |
- Posted by jakethewonderdog (My Page) on Tue, May 6, 14 at 14:11
is it a Poulan 2300-CVA? Google it and see if it matches your machine. |
jakethewonderdog You have my sympathies---I did a pile of Quadra-Jets back in the day. Tried a couple of thermo-quads---ugh!!!! |
- Posted by shakushinnen (My Page) on Mon, May 12, 14 at 14:30
Hi, Sorry, I wrote a reply last week, but for some reason it didn't get posted. "Is it a Poulan 2300 CVA?" It could be, I can't really tell. I took it apart, looked at the carburetor. All the membranes seem supple and clean. Then I tried it again, same result ..... no firing. I don't think the carb is getting any gas. How is the gas delivered to the carburetor? ....... john |
Fuel delivery pressure is produced as the piston moves down, pressurizing the crankcase and the pressure is directed through the port into the carb to the underside of the diaphragm that pushes the fuel into the carb to be directed into the carb venturi and into the engine. The problem is most likely in those small passageways drilled in the carb body. When leaded gasoline evaporated, a substance called varnish was left. That substance would clog those passageways. The newer unleaded fuel leaves a similar substance---and gasohol(10% alcohol gas) causes even more plugging. As I said, I repaired and maintained a fleet of over 300 chain saws(Homelite/Husky/Tanaka) for 20+ years. I was a factory certified repairman for Husqvarna(had to be to be able to stock repair parts) and worked on several different brands. I had repair and test equipment to rebuild carbs according to factory specifications. I was only successful about 50% of the time. In fact, the last 10 or so years, we just replaced defective carbs rather than try rebuilding---was more cost effective. |

Thanks mac. I appreciate your insights. I have no idea where I can get a replacement carburetor, but would like to take a crack at cleaning it up. What if I remove the seals and soak it in a strong solvent containing methanol, toluene and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK)? Do you think that might do it? .... john |
You can try---be sure to use compressed air to blow out all the drilled passageways. I had a carb cleaner machine---solution and agitator(speeds cleaning time) and used it often. You can find the numbers on the carb and ask a saw repair shop or Google them, there are a lot of identical carbs on different make saws. Good Luck!! |
- Posted by shakushinnen (My Page) on Tue, May 13, 14 at 18:34
Hi Mac, Thanks for the suggestions I'll try the blow out first. Hi Saltidawg, Thanks for the carburetor blowup reference. ..... john |
- Posted by shakushinnen (My Page) on Thu, May 15, 14 at 12:05
Alright. I took the carburetor apart, blew and cleaned it as well as I could. Unfortunately, I separated the two gaskets (one on either side of the unit) into their component parts, a soft membrane and a stiffer frame, and forgot which goes outside and which goes inside. So, the question is ....... thin membrane inside or outside? Thanks, ..... john |
john, The arrangement is shown in the D panel Parts Blowup linked to three posts up, is it not? |

Hi Salti, Yes, I looked at the link, but was not sure weather the thin one was inside or outside. I thought it might be a standard configuration, i.e. 'thin out' or 'thin in', kind of a rule of thumb. I'll try it both ways, and see which one works. Thanks, .... john |
- Posted by shakushinnen (My Page) on Fri, May 16, 14 at 9:57
Hi Salti, I had another look at the link, and can now see which way the layers go. ....... john |
- Posted by shakushinnen (My Page) on Fri, May 16, 14 at 12:45
Three more things. There is now gasoline in the fuel line. 1. I notice that there is no air filter. (I assume it's a piece of foam?) I doubt that this would prevent the saw from firing? 2. I am using regular gas, in order to see if it works, before I go to the trouble of mixing it will oil. This shouldn't prevent it from firing? 3. Could the on/off switch be faulty? I see it leading into the housing, but haven't looked at it. (I'm getting a spark at the plug.) Thanks, ....... john |
Remove the muffler and check the cylinder/piston for scoring. Both should have a mirror finish---any score lines means the jug/piston are trash---no fixing them. The cost to replace will be as much as a new saw. The only lubrication for a 2 cycle engine is the oil added to the gas. Even just trying to start with plain gas can damage parts. |
there may be lot of ideas to deal with this issue but in my opinion handymac did his best |
